The Streek GR Kust had been on my must-hike list for a while and I'm so glad I finally went and did it!

Infamous for its high rise buildings and concrete boardwalks, this trail will show you that there is in fact a very different side to the Belgian coast too. The trail alternates between beach, dunes and woodland, making for a varied view along the way. Don't forget to circle back to the boardwalk sometimes for a much deserved waffle or ice cream! 😉

Ps: the trail is 103km in total. I stopped earlier to meet my friends in Knokke.

I am probably supposed to make this a sentimental post about how messy 29 was and how I had to come back to myself at 30 and figure out how to do life alone. But I'm currently rushing to get to work and I have zero inspiration as to what to say. I just wish that 31 will be (at least a little) less rocky than the past two years, so that I may finally have a chance to feel the world around me. Goodness knows I need it. Also, buying a dryer would be nice. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

I Want To Ride My Bycicle

 

 

 

K and I went for one last stroll through the city a warm evening before the beginning of his exam period. I took my camera with me, like always. I don’t really know why, but I was photographing every old bike, Vespa scooter or floral anything we passed along our walk. I shot these photos with free handed, not really looking at what was in focus or minding the composition. I was in a mood to do random things that night. Some of these really came out nicely, I think. As I was editing them I kinda felt like faking an old film-effect. Again very random as I usually prefer my images sharp, with bright colors and  clear light. Looking at these photos in a post, I really miss my own bike. My dad was going to replace the tires, but as my bike is over 25 years old, it’s really hard to find tires that have the right size. My bike has been standing upside down in our garden for the past two and a bit years and it’s overgrown by weeds and covered in spider webs. Maybe one day.
